The Art of Effective Training is a collection of strength and conditioning workouts with programming, form, plateaus, and sample programs addressed throughout the book. Jon Stokes is the owner of Resurgence Underground Fitness, a gym in Midlothian, Virginia that trains athletes in both strength and conditioning and Muay Thai kickboxing. Stokes’ aim is urging clients to prioritize training goals over weight loss goals, as this approach has proven far more successful in long-term weight loss than those which overemphasize dieting.
